            <description><![CDATA[Kindle uses Digital Rights Management (DRM) software which is standard in the industry. It registers the digital book to one device. From what I know the original customer can deauthorize one device and transfer the rights to another device, when they upgrade to another Kindle book. 

I'm not sure if Kindle allows lending. I have not heard of any breaches in the system, but nothing is 100% hacker proof. For example you can do a Google search and find free software which allows you to remove the protection from DVDs and allows anyone to copy them.

Major publishers have problems with pirating. It is a hard thing to prevent, no matter who you publish/distribute through.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[You make a good point. if large publishers are allowed to continue to place public domain titles for sale, there could be a question of antitrust violations. 

I don't have any public domain titles on Kindle. I personally don't see the problem with people selling public domain titles, if readers are willing to pay for them. After all we do live in a consummer driven economy (at least we are told that).

I see the fix as simple. Amazon is marketing the availability of free public domain downloads with the purchase of the Kindle Reader. All Amazon has to do is add a link which takes the Kindle user directly to the free downloads. That way readers looking for the free Amazon version can find it with no problem. 

Disney has built an empire on public domain titles. If a publisher can sell public domain titles and the public are willing to pay for it, I don't see the problem.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Text-to-speech isn't meant to replace professional voice actors. It is mainly for the blind or near blind. I think the female voice is a nice touch over the standard robotic voice. I doubt anyone expects audio-book quality from a text-to-speech engine (at least I hope not). 

I don't think text-to-speech is worth the trouble even for non-fiction books, unless you really need it. The lack of any real human rythm is too boring. I think the text-to-speech feature will be a novelty for most Kindle users for about two days before they give up on using it. 

I plan on buying a Kindle reader before the end of this year, so I can see exactly how my titles look to the Kindle customers.]]></description>

They may be referring to a generic speech to text feature which is on the second generation Kindle reader. Other readers such Microsoft Reader have that feature. It is a mechanical voice mainly for the visually impaired. I doubt they went through the effort you did in creating your audio book. I can definitely understand your concern. Creating an audio book is expensive.]]></description>
